Photos of Spitalfields Fruit and Vegetable Market, taken shortly before its closure in 1991, are blended with photos taken from the same spots over twenty years later, in 2013. This is Lamb Street, looking east towards Commercial Street. // WPMJHD19902013_11LambStreetLookingEast

What a treat to see the market how it was when I use to walk through it everyday to go to school. The traders would see me on my way and sometimes give me a orange or banana to take to school. They all knew my dad because they used his pub across the road from the market in Bishopsgate the Primrose.
